BC woman discovers deer wedged under her car after drive home - Vancouver Sun

VICTORIA — Victoria police responded recently to a bizarre call from a woman who drove home with a dead deer stuck under her compact car.

The driver was heading down a highway in Saanich, B.C., Saturday night in a Honda Fit when she struck a 90-kilogram buck lying dead in the roadway, said Saanich police spokesman Sgt. Dean Jantzen.

It's unclear why the woman didn't see the buck or stop when she felt a bump, Jantzen said.

The woman continued home, not knowing the large deer had become wedged under her car, despite unusual noises coming from the vehicle.

When she discovered the animal, she was unable to remove it because its horn was caught in the axle, Jantzen said.

She called police and the traffic officer called a tow truck.

Once the car was lifted and the buck dislodged, the officer dragged the bloody buck into the back of his patrol car to dispose of it.

"The traffic officer was left shaking his head," Jantzen said. "It was the first time he had encountered something like that."
